Easy One Sheet Wonder - video tutorial

Do these cards look familiar?  I featured them on an earlier blog post HERE   We made these cards during my first ZOOM class.  In the stamping world we call this a "One Sheet Wonder" because you make the cards (and in this case coordinating envelopes) using one sheet of Designer Series Paper (Stampin' Up!'s word for patterned paper.)

The class was a success - and everyone's cards looked different because everyone had a different patterned paper that they used to make the cards.  I planned to record the zoom class - but in my excitement I forgot to hit the record button.  So I finally got around to recording a new video showing you how easy it is to make these cards.

In the video below (Part 1)  I show you how to cut the patterned paper and the coordinating card stock (which is used for mats, borders and die cuts.  If you are receiving this blog post in your email - you may need to click on the blog title to load the video.

In the video below (Part 2) I show you how to put the pieces on Whisper White card bases to make the 6 cards - and I include a lot of tips and offer suggestions of how to make the cards suit your needs.

These cards were all made with NO STAMPING!  Shocking, right?  Instead, I included die cut words and images to complete the cards.  I used adhesive sheets when cutting out the die cuts - which made it easy to adhere those pieces to the cards (as long as you have fingernails or a sharp pointy tool like the Take Your Pick tool!)

One set of dies is retired and all of the Designer Series Paper I used in the video is retired, but below are some of the current products I used on the cards. Click on the image for more information about the product and to add it to your shopping bag in my online store.

You can see the current selection of designer series paper by clicking on the image below:

Celebrate!

Here are two cards I made for recent grads. Everything except the card stock is retired Stampin' Up! product - so I won't go into details about how I made them.  They were pretty easy to make - except those tassels were a bit of a pain.  I know I have retired Stampin' Up! tassles somewhere in my craft room - but since I've reorganized my craft supplies - I can't find them!   I'm glad that I held on to the "Go Graduate" stamp set and the "Celebrate You" dies.

Monday night was my first Zoom class.  We did a mini One Sheet Wonder class and I think everyone enjoyed it.  Below are my original sample cards (the red poppies) and the set that I made at class (pink/blue flowers.) 

My next Zoom class will be on Friday night July 17.  We will be celebrating my birthday (which is the following day) by playing BINGO and making several birthday cards!  Below are the details of the event.  EMAIL ME NOW if you would like to come!  Invite a friend!  Because this is an online event - you can be anywhere is the USA to attend!  I will mail the card kit and Bingo cards to you for FREE!
